PANEL: Current Challenges Facing Parents using Cannabis in Pediatric Conditions

In this interview, the parent of a medically compromised child using cannabis for symptom management shares her experience on the challenges she has faced both medically and at the legislative level in her state of South Carolina. Her drive to help her child lead her down paths she never imagined she would travel and her story deserves both attention and support.

2. There are pathways that parents can engage with their local and state legislators to help make cannabis a viable treatment for those that need it
